Case study - building, not just specifying

A self-built product that shows how I think: spot a problem, ship a working solution, measure it.

Self-built · Self-updating

AI Frontier - a twice-weekly AI intelligence dashboard

Staying current on the AI race is noisy and time-consuming. I built a dashboard that curates the tactical and strategic moves of 13 key players across the AI stack from 53 leading publications - and refreshes itself twice a week.

Problem

AI news is scattered across dozens of outlets; the signal gets lost in the noise.

Curate

Aggregates RSS from 53 AI publications, company blogs and news feeds.

Classify

Matches stories to 13 key players; tags each move tactical vs strategic.

Ship

Self-updating board with source attribution and one-click to the original article.

Refreshes every Monday and Thursday via GitHub Actions - fully cloud-hosted, no server to run.

About me - beyond the day job

The person behind the product manager: a published poet and a competitive quizzer.

Siddhartha Mohapatra

Siddhartha Mohapatra · Poet & Quizzer

Away from roadmaps and re-platforming, I'm driven by two lifelong passions - the written word and the thrill of a good quiz. I write poetry and short prose, stay active in writing communities, and have been published in print. When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me chasing the next question on a quizzing stage.
